The game crashes back to desktop once it reaches the supreme commander load title screen after all the sponsor ads at the beginning even in windowed mode.

My copy has been checked and I copied it to my desktop so as to not re-download it and it works fine there.

Now I have no clue where the issue is I have all the latest drivers for graphics chipsets physx directX 11, 9.0c and I re-installed them all as well. The even funnier thing is I played the demo and it ran like a charm... so why do i have problems now!?

Anyone else encountered this problem and/or even better found a solution?

UPDATE:
Here are the solutions I have found on a variety of forums and thus far attempted without any success, if you are having the same problems try them they have apparently fixed other peoples problems and may fix yours:

1. Creating a .bat file to start in windowed mode in various resolutions.
2. Edited the .pref file to show no initial sponsor movie ads
3. Deleted and re-downloaded the .pref file
4. Deleted and re-downloaded the /bin directory
5. Deleted and re-downloaded the whole game
6. Edited the launch option to -autconfig
7. Rolled back and upgraded to the following nVidia 8800m drivers: 186.81 notebook, 195.55 notebook, 195.62 notebook, 195.81 notebook. Trying to launch the game in every case
8. Attempted to run both in SLi and non SLi mode
9. Re-installed DirectX drivers of all sorts
10. Re-installed the C++ 2005 2008 redistribute packages
11. Installed Dox's modded drivers for nVidia cards

THIS PROBLEM WAS SOLVED AS FOLLOWS:

Type /disable_lightfx in the SupCom2 Launch options: to do this you can right click on Supreme Commander 2 in Steam and select Properties, then on the General tab, click the "Set launch options..." button and type it in there.
